color=#0000ff>I have used the downdraft evaporative cooling calculation tool
which, as mentioned by Eric, was developed by Martin Yoklic and Nader Chalfoun
at Univ. of Arizona. The tool is called `Cool T', and is a very nifty and easy
to use (and only 88kb in size). I think it has been validated using data from
some cool towers built in Tucson and elsewhere. The big limitation with that
program is that it can only simulate the towers in only 6 locations
(Phoenix USA, Tucson USA, Riyadh Saudi Arabia, Gabarone Botswana, Dubai UAE and
Long Beach USA). A classmate of mine (</FONT><A

based interface and engine which can take in different weather files (TMY2 or
EPW). I am sure Nader and Martin can help you best.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

[BLDG-SIM] Evaporative cooling<BR><BR></FONT></DIV></FONT>
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT face="Courier New">Hi all, I am a grad student of
Architecture at the Univ of Oregon and also a new member of this mailing list.
I am currently studying the use of Passive downdraught evaporative cooling in
buildings. I wish to use building energy simulation tools to analyse the
performance of different configurations of the towers. I hope u all can help
me with pointers on how I could approach this problem. Your experiences with
simulating evaporative cooling would be very useful. Which simulation tools
accomodate simulating passive evap cooling. please give me some leads on
it. hope to hear replies soon. thanks a ton.<BR>Sangeetha</FONT><BR>
